    Summary

    The lights are on when Joe finally climbs the steps to their little flat near the Auberge De France, and all his thoughts are swept from his mind as he closes the door behind him and is greeted by the steady sound of water running. He has half a mind to join Nicky in the shower, but instead, he puts his cigarette out and fills the kettle. Though they usually drink copious amounts of coffee while on duty, they always favour tea when it is their time.

    He’s about to start slicing the bread when the bathroom door opens, and Joe turns his body to see Nicky emerge from the still-steamy room, a towel around his shoulders to catch the water still dripping from his wet hair, a pair of small crimson shorts with yellow stripes hugging his hips and ass like they were specifically tailored to drive Joe insane.

    A time in Malta. Not THE time in Malta, but one of many.

    Summary

    "I have a question for you,” Nicolo starts.

    Yusuf, who was busy trying to get some sleep before Nicolo broke the silence, holds in a sigh.

    Rolling onto his side, cheek resting upon his palm, Yusuf meets his eyes, ocean licked by fire. The flame of their camp flickers in the breeze, making them a firestorm of rolling waves.

    “If you are going to ask me about Muhammad's cow again, please save it for when I am awake enough to stab you for it,” he says lightly, only half-joking.

    In which Joe and Nicky talk about poetry instead of their feelings.

    Summary

    “Does it always look like this?”

    Over the helicopter drum there is the mumble of distant thunder as if the sky is talking to itself.

    “Nine hundred years of lightning,” Joe introduces. “Welcome to the house of perpetual storm.”

    Summary

    Booker rediscovered his love of Goya around the later end of the twentieth century. Nicky can never remember the exact timeline, but he can picture the way that Joe and Booker would talk about it – brought together in passionate arguments about perspective and politics and the use of shadows.

    Joe had an impressive ability to mimic another artist in his own unique way, and though he had long given up trying to convince Booker to create original art of his own, they had found their way into a brotherhood of homages.
